MONDAY, 8/29/11 (Updated)

Wow!  God, in His goodness, continues to bless the Friendship family with some awesome services.  Yesterday was no exception as we experienced a sweet spirit, saw six additions, had one follow in believer’s baptism, and had a great attendance in all of our services.  We praise Him for His blessings!  He gives the increase and we give Him the glory!

Yes, it was hot in the auditorium last night as one of the ac units froze up.  I appreciate your understanding regarding this matter.  Plus, it was hot outside.

As far as I know, Arlene Meredith made it to South Carolina late last night.  Pray for John as she will see the doctor today.  He is a very sick man.  Thanks to Bro. Jerry Whitmore for his help in getting Arlene to SC.  Also, to Deanna Rhyne and the others who volunteered to help with the dogs.

Adam & Amanda Blackwell welcomed a son, Xavier Liam, into this world on August 23.  He is having jaundice problems and has a hole in his heart.  He was placed back in the hospital yesterday afternoon.  Of course, the grandparents are Larry & Trish Blackwell.  Pray for this baby.

Amy Huhn’s mother continues in her battle against cancer.  Carla Kyser has another treatment this Thursday.  Herbert Benefield (knee) and Warren Guidry (shoulder) will both have surgery on Wednesday.  Brenda Timberlake will have a heart cath on Thursday.  Bill & Debbie Kendrick’s daughter in Alaska is having some health issues too.  (Did learn this week that Bill’s son is a believer!)

Joey Switzer has a good friend who passed away on Saturday after suffering injuries in a four wheeler accident.  Pray for that family.

“Church member of the week” goes to Karla Cooper simply because she heeded my request to park farther away to help alleviate the parking problems we are experiencing.  She moved one space away from where she normally parks!  Me?  Parked behind the storage container yesterday morning so far away that I should have just walked from the house.  Last night I had to park illegally just to help the parking dilemma.  Can you say “tongue in cheek” in awarding this honor?

If anyone sees August of 2011, please tell it that I said “hello!”  I must have missed it because it is gone!  However, the college football season begins this Thursday night.  Of course, the “real” season begins around 11:20AM this Saturday!  I am ready!

I pray that you will have a blessed Monday with Jesus.
